Books The BOOK thread

[Jippy]

Going from Rich Osmond's The Thursday Murder Club -readable, funny here and there, but sentimal- to JM Coetzee's Waiting For The Barbarians has been quite a change of tone.

Coming back to this, would strongly recommend. It's up there with Life and Times of Michael K.

Finally read A Streetcar Named Desire yesterday. Dark, gritty and brilliantly written, with really sharp dialogue and I like the moral ambiguity running through it.

Anybody read any books on Colditz POW camp during WW2?

The Pat Reid book is considered one of main books.

The Horse by Willy Vlautin.

Absolutely loved it. Every chapter really tugged at my heartstrings. Highly recommend.
